With eyebrows raised, Antonia looked the other way when she saw Andy walking hand in hand down in the escalator with Riza, the new girlfriend. She couldn’t avoid them as she was on her way up and it was too late to turn back.
“Hello, Antonia!” she heard Andy say followed by Riza’s mocking laughter. She pretended not to hear them and continued in her way. “I will never forget what you did to me, Andy” she thought with teeth gnashing.
All of a sudden, her world turned black. She did not notice the ‘wet floor’ sign and she slipped and hit the tiles with the back of her head. She lay on the floor unconscious and the crowd quickly gathered around her. “Is she dead?” one spectator asked.
“Call an ambulance” one guy shouted while rushing towards Antonia. He held her hand and checked her pulse. “Antonia” he whispered.
Two minutes passed and Antonia regained consciousness. The first thing she saw was the face of the guy who held her hand and called her by her name.
She surveyed his facial features and admired its beauty. “Who are you?” with almost inaudible voice, she asked.
“It’s me Andy. Remember?”
